Isle of Skulls and the Last San Nicholas Woman
A San Francisco Examiner account describes San Nicolas Island off Ventura County with white skeletons on valleys and hillsides and primitive relics. It recalls 1835 efforts by Santa Barbara padres to rescue remaining locals, a shipwreck, and Captain George Nideyer’s later voyage that found a lone Neophyte woman who eventually died after being rescued. Relics, bones, and artifacts have since been gathered and shipped to eastern and European universities.

Democratic currency dispute and relief efforts contrasted
The piece argues the Democratic majority naturing free coinage would risk Harrison’s political peril, while noting Republicans fear destructive currency laws under Democratic control. It cites New Era concerns over silver, and reports on German place aid amid crop failure and typhus, with U.S. officials urged to ship corn to German colonists while condemning past refusal to fund relief.
